The sound is impressive for such a size. It's a very cheerful speaker and its excellent handling of vocals has me in awe since that's the kind of music I enjoy the most. Plus, while the volume gets quite loud for bigger spaces, the lack of surround makes it better suited for medium-sized rooms. The clarity should also benefit from that too, even at 50-60% volume.

If you're a Spotify subscriber and want a speaker you can conveniently stream music through, the JBL Playlist is ideal. It's also perfect for those who have an existing Chromecast Audio setup and want another relatively inexpensive speaker to add to their multi-room system. Even if you don't fit in either of those categories, with the number of apps on iOS and Android that now support Chromecast, this is still an recommend option. Load up your music app, tap the Cast button, and you're away.

The budget Bluetooth behemoth enters the multi-room space

The JBL Playlist brings the Bluetooth speaker maker’s signature sound to a multi-room speaker for the first time. Between the Google Cast and Spotify Connect integration you’re sure to be able to connect everything you need to this speaker, whose sound has a real punch to it.

An engagingly up-and-at-'em presentation

We have our reservations about the Playlist as an all-round performer, but it fits nicely into the JBL hierarchy. And its Google Cast compatibility can only be a benefit. If you want your wireless speaker to ruffle your hair and push you about a bit, the Playlist has a firm enough hand.
